Founded in 1993 in Austin, this indie rock band will perform hits from their new album, Hot Thoughts, released in March.
No, they’re not named after the common expression for getting it on – it was in fact chosen as a tribute to the German band Can, whose most famous song (and theme to the 1985 Jagged Edge movie) was called ‘Spoon’ – but don’t say they haven’t got a sense of humour.
Spoon blamed being dropped by the Elektra record label in 1998 on the departure of their rep Ron Laffitte, and they subsequently went on to release the singles ‘The Agony of Laffitte’ and ‘Laffitte Don’t Fail Me Now’.
Success eventually came in the early 2000s with hits such as ‘Kill the Moonlight’ and ‘GA GA GA GA GA’. (CM)

Make your voice heard as an expat

In my last op-ed, I made the case that we, expats living in Denmark, need to step up if we want to tackle the headaches that seem baked into expat life—e.g., counterintuitive laws and endless paperwork. With almost 16% of Denmark’s population made up of internationals, we actually have the numbers to influence real change. But after publishing the last op-ed, several readers contacted me and asked: Okay, but what can we actually do?
